When I first became old enough to carry my own pocket money around, I’d often duck into the local convenience store and indulge in a Snickers bar. Those days are gone but the flavour infatuation remains. If you can totally relate, this slice is for you. Double ingredients for a 20cm square tin.

Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

Nougat base

½ cup rolled oats or coconut flour

3 tbsp. almond meal

3 tbsp. cashew paste

¼ tsp. vanilla powder

3 tbsp. coconut oil, melted

Nutty caramel layer

½ cup rice malt syrup or coconut nectar

½ cup macadamia, almond or peanut butter or hulled tahini

1 cup mixed raw nuts (I like peanuts, almonds and macadamias)

Chocolate layer

80g Dark Chocolate, melted

Method

STEP 1

Line a 16cm round cake tin with baking paper.

STEP 2

To make the nougat base, process all ingredients in a food processor on low until a thick dough forms. Press the nougat into the base of the prepared tin, then keep in the fridge while you prepare the Nutty Caramel Layer.

STEP 3

Place rice malt syrup or honey and nut butter or tahini in a small saucepan set over low heat, melt and stir to combine — do not boil.

STEP 4

Add the nuts and mix well. Pour the nutty caramel over the nougat base and spread evenly, smoothing the top. Place back in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to set.

STEP 5

When set, pour over melted chocolate, smooth the top and return to the fridge for a further 15 minutes to set.

STEP 6

To serve, cut the slice into wedges. Store the slice or any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
